IRACUNDUS SIGNIFER Jordan and Evermann. 



One specimen, ioo nnn, long; agrees perfectly with the original 

 description of the species, this being the second specimen known. 



DENDROCHIRUS CHLOREUS Jenkins. 



One specimen. Dorsal rays, 10; anal, 0; the last ray doul)le in each 

 case. 



DENDROCHIRUS BARBERI ( Steindacher). 



Dendrocldnm Jmdsoiil Jordan and Evermann is without doubt iden- 

 tical with Pterois harherl Steindachner. An examination of two of the 

 cotypes of the former shows that they differ from the latter species, as 

 described and figured by Steindachner, only in the length of the pec- 

 toral, the difference however not being greater than the diameter of 

 the pupil. 



CEPHALACANTHUS ORIENTALIS (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



Renewed examination of the common ffying gurnard of Hawaii con- 

 vinces us that this species is the original oi'h ntaJU. The same species 

 occurs in Japan, as also a second species, Cejjhalacanthus pettrseni 

 (Nystrom), in which the second free spine of the dorsal is lacking. 



ANTENNARIUS COMMERSONI Lacepede. 



Two specimens, typical in character.
